Honeycomb Happiness and Crazy About You Stamp Sets

Things were very busy in February and blogging was the first thing at the bottom of my to do list! Blogging is such a mental exercise for me so it is one of the easiest things to skip. Don't you feel that way?

This is the last month for the Sale-A-Bration catalog. I am really going to miss showing off these stamp sets, paper, glitter tape, Project Life (TM), and glitter tape. Oh, did I mention Metallic Glitter tape? Place your order before the end of the month and receive one of these free Stampin' Up! products with every $50 purchase. Click the link on the right for the catalog.

I must admit this first club card was a little easy since I took advantage of a sample in the SAB catalog using another image from the Honycomb Happiness stamp set. I made my own Designer Series Paper too! It is hard to tell from the photo (terrible lighting) but I used the paper piecing method for this cheeky chick. First, I stamped the chick with Basic Black Archival Ink on Whisper White cardstock for placement and his feet. I colored the feet with Tangelo Twist Stampin' Write Marker. I stamped the chick a second time on Daffodil Delight and fussy cut the main body not quite removing all of the outline. The easter tag is from the Crazy About You stamp set.

Hopefully, I will complete the second card yet this weekend and can add a short follow-up post and pictures.

Stamp on!

Sheltering Tree Stamp Set by Guest Designer

Yesterday was Andrea’s stamping party. It was really a card buffet, but I think I have some new stamping addicts! It was a fun time with a great group of people. I was amazed at the talent of the three (3) young stampers – Andrea’s niece and her third (we think) cousins. I had several cards designed for the adults and youngsters and a couple of cards designed specifically for the youngsters for father’s day. They did a marvelous job with the cards and made them their own.

On this day, Andrea was on a mission! She was on a mission to create a card using the Sheltering Tree Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! Her vision was to cover the tree with embossed flowers (using the leaves image) on a sheet of vellum. It turned out beautiful. Tell her how much you LUV it below.

Of course, I couldn’t have a stamping party at Andrea’s without bring her favorite retired Stampin’ Up! stamp set, Because I Care. I didn’t have a card designed though – I left it to Andrea to come up with something herself. I had no doubt that she could handle it. Here’s her card.

I hope you enjoy Andrea’s cards as much as I did. I will post June’s club card next week.

Stamp on!
